Congratulations on emerging Mister International Nigeria , how does that make you feel?
I feel so honored that my hard work paid off but at the same time it is really overwhelming and I’m taking everything one step at a time.
What were the challenges you faced during this contest and how you overcame them?
I faced a lot of pressure coming from the management and my fellow contestants. Overcoming it wasn’t so easy, I had to practice a lot to be able to make the necessary improvements.
What would you say stood you out from other contestants?

How long have you been in the modeling?

What motivated you to contest for Mister Model Nigeria?
I contested for this Pageant to justify my self-assertion that i can compete at the best level and still be productive. This Pageant has over the years, put a strong stride on making it the best Pageant show. Through this Pageant, I could easily reach my goals and become a better person. I find everything about the Misters of Nigeria Pageant encouraging.
How has winning this changed your life?
Winning has changed my life in tremendous ways that words cannot even explain, and I continue to remain focused on how much I want to use this medium to impact change.
What is the plan for you as you are preparing for an international pageant?
Getting in shape.
